Thanks so much for the tip... I have used Chris Titus software previously, but had forgotten about it. I appriciate the link and reminder very much!
The laptop that I use most often is several years old and is about ready for a clean install... It is taking a long time to boot up. I purchased a gaming laptop to run Flight Simulators, and video editing software, but it weighs far more and does not have a touch screen which I often find useful.
The older computer supposedly is not capable of running Windows 11, but I have a portable WIN 11 installation on an NVME drive in an external enclosure which boots up much faster than Win 10 on the internal NVME. The question is whether I should stick with Windows 10 or put Windows 11 on it. I will probably buy a larger NVME so that I can start fresh but have the ability to swap the other back into the laptop if needed.
windows 10 will be forcing peopel to pay for updates pretty soon- I use it without activating though- I don’t care abotu the personal settings for it really-
I’ve been looking at desktops=- uggh- too many choices- I think though I’m gonna build my own- will be about $1000 less than prebuilt with the same specs almost-
